Your usual go to flavs like everything, garlic, onion, plain, cinnamon/raison, etc.. but with other great flavs like spinach, egg, or French toast (and more)! Can I tell you how great a bacon, sausage, or ham egg n cheese is on a French toast bagel?!?! The sweet n salty! MUST TRY!! Also house made amazing cream cheese varieties (huge fan of the veggie cream cheese! Had to buy a few when I brought bagels in for my work crew on fridays cause it always went sooo fast! But many other great flavors) can just get it on your bagel or buy a container to bring home for the week. Great lunch sandwiches too with Boars head meets! Great staff and service as well! But if it's a Fri, sat or Sunday I'd recommend go early or you can order ahead for pickup as people come and grab dozens at a time! You may have to wait a little bit for a fresh batch of your flavor to come out depending on the morning rush times but trust... it's worth it!!! The bagels themselves keep well for days and don't get hard as a rock and dried out quickly like from other places which is awesome and makes a trip there worth it! Easy on and off rt 84 Waterbury... def worth the stop!

The sandwich was very good and chicken was crispy. I also got a maple cream iced coffee. It was a different set up than I'm normally used to because the coffee was already in the cups that you could choose from in the fridge. There were about 10 different flavors to choose from. I was then given ice and could make my coffee at the counter. I wouldn't come here for the coffee though I brought home a French toast bagel with cannoli cream cheese. It was very good, not too sweet. The bagel itself was crispy and with crunchy cinnamon sugar on the outside and dusted with powdered sugar.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, and they had a good variety of bagels. I got a BEC on a Spinach Bagel and it was delicious and filling! They do not play with the bacon, there's a ton. The bagels are a little smaller in general (that's my opinion, i'm originally from NJ) but they packed a lot of flavor. I got a French Toast bagel with their house made strawberry cream cheese and it was incredible. I was really impressed. They also are making homemade turnovers, the apple one was a nice treat. will definitely come back here! please note that they are currently cash only!

Back in the '70's, the only bagels you could get around here were Lenders frozen bagels from the…read moresupermarket. My Mom loved bagels but those were NOT what I considered bagels! I lived in the Bronx at that time and on the main shopping street near me was a bagel bakery-you walked in and saw the vats where they boiled them and then put them on a conveyor to bake. I started bringing home bagels for her and soon my whole family started asking me to bring some for them - next thing you know, I was bringing 12 - 13 dozen bagels whenever I drove home (I have a big family)! The bagel bakery began giving me a discount for such huge orders. The only kind I refused to bring were garlic - my car (and I) would smell like garlic long after I arrived. As wonderful as those bagels were, Blue House makes the best bagels I've ever had. And the whole Vibe there is so welcoming -always friendly and helpful staff, so many great products, and a lovely area to sit and enjoy my chai and bagel. My only "complaint" is not being able to buy their fresh bagels on Monday or Tuesday!

Even if you do that, the simplest warm food will apparently take 30mins. I placed an order and waited 10+ mins for a toasted plain with butter. Got it outside to eat and it wasn't even warm, much less toasted. The butter was 0% melted. Ok, at least I was able to get my son his egg bagel, dry and cold. Nope. Out of them before 10a. He got a plain and it was fine, but not appreciably better than other options. To give what little credit that's due, they DID toast a bagel when my gf took mine back in, but what if I had taken it to go? Most people do since there's no real place to eat there (a few tables outside on the busy road). Any bagel place that can't get a plain toasted with butter right in 15mins isn't worth your time. CT has too many good options.

I had an everything bagel with egg, cheese, and mashed avocado. Pro tip: it's really just guacamole. If you're looking for straight avocado, that's not what they give you. That being said, it was absolutely delicious. We ordered some bagels to go as well. My husband really liked the jalapeño cheddar a lot. The French toast bagel was not quite as flavorful as I would have liked. The cinnamon raisin bagel was spot on! Can't wait to return and try one of their salads or wraps. Parking is easy peasy. If I have to say something slightly negative, it would be that the place is a little bit expensive for what it is. However, it was so good... It felt like it was worth it.
